Good point about the film influence. (And, of course, for many fandoms our canon is a TV show or movie rather than a book or comic.)
As for the Beaverton Powell's, I was there on a business trip. I had some time to kill, and had the hotel shuttle drop me off at the mall. I could see the Powell's sign directly across from me...with nothing in between but a drop of about 20 feet and a seven-lane highway.
Anyway, I hiked along the highway for about half a mile where there was a crossing, completely ruining my shoes in the process, then hiked back to Powell's and had the hotel shuttle pick me up there.
